  1. Comment - Virgin launches 50 Mbps connections in the UK

    Actually, on the "XXL" package, for launch, there will be no throttling:

    " Berkett said that to begin with the "premium" 50Mbit/s service will not be traffic managed. Virgin Media throttles the bandwidth available to heavy users on its other broadband packages at peak times. Berkett added that restrictions will be introduced around the same time the rollout is complete, however."

    But later on, they plan to use DPI technology to target BitTorrent users.
